Otis VT System For “Architectural Marvel” in Kuala Lumpur

Otis announced on December 3 it won an order to provide the vertical-transportation (VT) system for the 68-story Dawn KLCC mixed-use building in the center of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Awarded by Chin Hin Group Property, the order includes seven SkyRise^® and three Arise^TM elevators. Scheduled for completion in 2029, “this architectural marvel will feature lifestyle suites, luxury serviced residences and a vibrant sky bar offering breathtaking view of the Kuala Lumpur city center,” Otis observed. The tower is within close proximity to landmarks including the Petronas Twin Towers, Saloma Bridge and the Public Bank Tower. Otis’ SkyRise elevators travel at up to 6 m/s, resulting in shorter wait times and faster, more efficient journeys, Otis Malaysia General Manager Pradeep Nair said. The building’s VT system will be integrated with Otis’ SmartGrouping^TM technology, featuring a dynamic group calling function with smart hall-call buttons. The Otis ONE^TM Internet of Things solution, meanwhile, will remotely monitor elevator performance 24/7.
